Bankruptcy Law and Foreclosure Defense

Mr. Alster has personally guided thousands of clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings with a remarkable record: none of his clients have involuntarily lost assets to creditors as a direct result of filing bankruptcy. His prior experience representing lenders in foreclosure proceedings provides unique insight into effective debtor representation, especially for individuals seeking to avoid foreclosure on their homes.

For individuals or businesses facing debt burdens beyond Chapter 13 limits, Mr. Alster works in collaboration with leading Chapter 11 practitioners across New Jersey and New York to deliver solutions tailored to each client’s needs.

He is a longtime member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and the Bankruptcy Law Sections of the New Jersey and New York State Bar Associations.

 

Personal Injury and Complex Litigation

In addition to his bankruptcy practice, Mr. Alster has successfully prosecuted significant personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and civil rights matters throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Today, he co-counsels with some of the region’s top trial attorneys and personal injury firms to ensure that his clients receive the strongest possible representation—without paying a higher legal fee.

His extensive referral network allows him to match injury clients with the right lead counsel to maximize recovery. In fact, his strategic selection of co-counsel has led to recovery differences in the hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars for clients who may otherwise have received far less.

 

Client-Centered Approach

Mr. Alster is known for his personal, hands-on approach to every case. He and his team pride themselves on empathetic client communication, careful screening, and thorough legal strategy. From the initial consultation through resolution, clients are informed, supported, and protected every step of the way.
